"Porch of a Thousand Columns?"

After Chu Mingchen heard this, he raised his head and looked forward, his words full of incredulity:

"Did I hear you correctly? Senior He Ying, you want to restore the Thousand Column Porch? Are you kidding me?"

"Do you look at me like I'm joking?" He Ying curled his lips, then carried his sketch pad and walked towards the Thousand Columns Corridor with Gu Zhaodi.

Chu Mingchen hurriedly pulled his suitcase and surveying tool box and followed behind.

Although he walked slower than a turtle, he spoke as fast as pouring beans:

"Want to restore the Thousand Columns? Do you know how much work it will take?"

"There are countless Beijing-style official buildings in this huge capital city. Let's not talk about the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven in the distance. Let's just talk about the Summer Palace. Can you just find any one and restore it? Why did you choose the Thousand Column Corridor?"

"Do you know why it's called the Porch of Thousand Columns?"

"That's because this corridor is adjacent to Kunming Lake and backed by Wanshou Mountain. It starts from Yaoyuemen in the east, ends at Shizhang Pavilion in the west, is connected to Duiou Fang in the south, and is connected to the mountains and lakes in the north. It has a total of one floor. In the middle is There are a total of 548 columns with Paiyun Gate as the center, and four octagonal double eaves pavilions such as Liujia, Jilan, Qiushui and Qingyao are connected in series on both sides. The total length is 728 meters. If it is reduced 100 times and restored, It takes a full seven meters of space to put down the model. What’s more, there are more than 273 paintings of Su family’s baggage, large and small, painted on the beams in these 14000 corridors!”

"So, this corridor is also called Thousand Gallery. Do you know what the concept of 14000 color paintings is?"

"If you don't know, you can try applying lipstick on your mouth 14000 times!"

Seeing He Ying and Gu Zhaodi disappear from sight, and even Lou Xinyue and Tang Guoguo, who were only taking pictures, ran away from him and went somewhere unknown, Chu Mingchen unconsciously quickened his pace.

I didn’t forget to shout loudly: “Hey! Wait for me.”

But He Ying, who was walking at the front, had long been too lazy to listen to Chu Mingchen's thoughts.

She and Gu Zhaodi soon arrived at the starting point of the Thousand-Column Corridor: Yaoyue Gate.

And start assigning work according to the plan early in the morning.

"Then let's start from here and work separately." He Ying looked back at Gu Zhaodi, "You record the internal structure, and I'll record the characteristics of the paintings. But the most important thing, besides the Paiyun Palace, is the beautiful scenery of the mountains and the lake. Building, but our sketches only need to be similar in appearance, and the specific photography work will be left to Chu Mingchen."

"it is good."

Gu Zhaodi raised her eyes and looked through the beams and pillars covered with colorful oil paint, suddenly wanting to have a discussion with her team leader.

Then he took the lead in analyzing the structure of Yaoyuemen:

"Yaoyue Gate is a gate-style building with hanging flowers on the top of the mountain facing east and west. The front is one bay wide and the depth is two bays. There are mountain pillars in the middle to form a front verandah. The south is connected to the verandah of Leshou Hall, and the north mountain pillar is connected to Yang Renfeng's wall. A gable wall is built between the gable column and the rear eaves column to close it. There are plum blossom columns under the single square beams on the rear eaves, and the rear eaves walls are built on both sides of the plum blossom columns. Therefore, this plum blossom column is also the first starting column of the Thousand Columns Corridor!"

After she finished speaking, she quietly raised her eyebrows at He Ying, as if to say: It's your turn.

He Ying smiled, walked outside Yaoyue Gate, looked around, and quickly organized her words:

"Yaoyue Gate is the largest hanging flower gate in the Summer Palace. It uses Su-style colorful paintings with golden threads and fangs. The hoop head is a double-beaded belt with an upside-down hoop inscription. The single forehead fang has a green hoop head, and the green head is a polygonal hoop. Brocade and gold hard clips; the central beam and the curtain cage fang have green hoop heads, and the green heads are ink leaf flowers and gold soft clips. The center of the fang is a soft smoke cloud fork, and lines, flowers and birds are painted in the center of the fang. Flat plate Fang is a stone mountain with green ground lined with jujube brocade, and a hard forked pond. The hanging pillar is red ground, and between the gold and hard clips is a birthday party for immortals. The purlin head is made of three green ground, and the purlin side is dyed with bamboo leaves and plum blossoms. .The flying rafter heads are gardenias, and the eaves rafter heads are pictures of happiness and longevity."

Having said this, she walked into the door again, pointed to the top of her head and continued:

"The rigid supports and suspended ceiling are painted to represent the wealth of peonies; the windward boards and line-based landscape are painted to represent the panoramic view of the West Lake."

As soon as He Ying finished speaking, and before Gu Zhaodi could speak, the two of them heard several claps from behind.

"Hahaha! Well said!"

Looking back, standing behind him was actually the professor who gave Ye Fangyu the model yesterday, Liang Zhibo. Professor Liang, who appeared here, still had a cardboard box beside him, but this one looked larger than the one from yesterday.

Beside him stood another famous ancient architecture professor: Dai Yunting.

He Ying and Gu Zhaodi said hello to the two professors in unison: "Hello, Professor Liang, hello Professor Dai."

Liang Zhibo smiled kindly and praised Dai Yunting beside him: "You are indeed Xiaoye's student, everyone is so outstanding!"

"Yes." Dai Yunting nodded and said no more.

Liang Zhibo looked at the time, then pointed to the carton and said to He Ying: "These are the surveying and mapping data of the ancient buildings of the Summer Palace printed by Dai, no, it's me. There are some data and drawings in them, and they are not confidential. I will give them to you today. I sent it here, I think it can save you some time."

Hearing this, He Ying and Gu Zhaodi's eyes lit up, they looked at each other and bowed to Liang Zhibo: "Thank you, Professor Liang."

"Hey~ why are you so polite? Aren't Xiaoye's students my students?" Liang Zhibo waved his hand, "Besides, sharing some research data with each other is also a good way for us to promote ancient architecture!"

"Yes, we will make good use of it."

As soon as He Ying finished speaking, Liang Zhibo wanted to explain something, but was pulled away by Dai Yunting in a hurry.

The next second. I saw Ye Fangyu greeting the staff of the Summer Palace, bringing a ladder over, and when passing by the big cardboard box, she kicked it:

"Whose box is this? It's getting in the way."

He Ying hurriedly explained the origin of the box.

After hearing this, Ye Fangyu looked through the documents inside and remained silent for a long time.

Just when she and Gu Zhaodi thought Teacher Ye was unhappy, they saw Ye Fangyu suddenly put the ladder aside, walked to the corridor in front of them and sat down, with a serious look on her face:

"I have read these documents. They are indeed the surveying and mapping data of all the buildings in the Summer Palace, including the drawings. In this case, you are fully capable of restoring more complex buildings. So I still want to ask you. You still need to focus on preparations. The Porch of Thousand Columns? What’s the reason?”

Although Ye Fangyu has very strict requirements on students, she never interferes with any decision made by students. As long as it is carefully considered, she will support it.

But this time is different.

Faced with repeated urgings from the leaders of Tianyang University, she delayed the submission of preliminary works until after the inspection, in order to allow the five students to pass the inspection and choose the most reliable ancient building to restore.

But she didn't expect that before the inspection started, He Ying called her this morning and told her that she wanted to restore the Thousand Column Gallery.

As for why you chose the Thousand Colonnades?

He Ying hasn't given her the answer yet.

Not knowing the reason, she didn't know how to arrange the best itinerary for them in the next time.

"Because we want to win." He Ying's answer was very utilitarian, "Mr. Ye, we have carefully looked at the model you borrowed for us yesterday. According to the sophistication of the model of Liang Sige, a master of ancient architecture, we should We don’t have the time or ability to restore the palaces and dormitories of the Beijing-style official buildings with very complex structures, but we can take a different approach.”

"Swordsmanship?" Ye Fangyu likes this idiom.

"Yes." He Ying took out her mobile phone and sent the picture that Lou Xinyue sent to the group to Ye Fangyu, "We were not sure about restoring the Thousand Column Gallery, so we just asked Lou Xinyue and Tang Guoguo to observe Which buildings did other groups go to inspect? Then they found that most of them gathered near Renshou Hall, Jingfu Pavilion, and Garden of Harmonious Interests, and until now they have not been close to the Thousand Column Corridor. So Gu Zhaodi and I agreed that it is important to restore some of the Thousand Columns. The colonnade should make the judges’ eyes shine among the many works of palaces and temples.”

"Not bad." Gu Zhaodi also agreed with He Ying's point of view, "Other groups do not pay attention to color painting, so we will use our strengths and avoid weaknesses to maximize color painting. Moreover, the Thousand Column Gallery has a simple structure and the same parts, making it easier to refine. The other groups just blindly Excessively pursuing the complexity of the structure of the work will actually reduce the level of sophistication. The final degree of completion of the entries is the most important. By then we will definitely be able to get a considerable score through the first impression. Coupled with the knowledge questions and answers, the chance of winning will be It will be bigger.”

"Sounds a bit risky."

Ye Fangyu squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, then slowly said:

"However, wealth and honor are sought in danger. If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cub?" She was very satisfied with He Ying and Gu Zhaodi's answers, so she asked again, "Then have you thought about which building to restore in the promotion competition?" Garden?"

"Prince Gong's Mansion." He Ying recalled Mingchen's suggestion that he would eat it all over the world, and gave the answer without hesitation, "It is also a Beijing-style official building. Prince Gong's Mansion is the master of northern gardens, so it must not have Question. So, during this inspection, we also want to go and see it together."

"Now that you have decided, I will help you borrow some more surveying and mapping data from Prince Kung's Mansion." Ye Fangyu said and stood up, "But the inspection project organized by the school this time does not include Prince Kung's Mansion. If we go , I can only act as a tourist, and I will let you go when the time comes.”

As she was talking, she saw Chu Mingchen, who was exhausted and sweating profusely, dragging a suitcase and a large box of surveying and mapping tools belatedly arriving.

But she didn't ask what Chu Mingchen had just experienced, she just patted him on the shoulder:

"Bring your camera soon and take all the pictures you need. The mission is complete!"

Seeing Ye Fangyu raising her legs to leave, Chu Mingchen took a few breaths and hurriedly chased after him: "Teacher Ye, we will be doing surveying and mapping in a while, won't you be there to guide us?"

"No!" Ye Fangyu waved her hand without even looking back, "You will be free for some free time, just take pictures!"

He Ying promptly hung the SLR camera around Chu Mingchen's neck and said: "You have to take pictures of all the colorful paintings in the Thousand Column Gallery. The two of us will go ahead and see which part is most suitable for restoration."

Chu Mingchen wiped the sweat on his forehead and blurted out: "Then what are Lou Xinyue and Tang Guoguo doing?"

But I heard a silver bell-like laughter coming from behind: "Of course we should choose a cool place to have a picnic!"

Immediately afterwards, Lou Xinyue emerged from nowhere, grabbed the suitcase from his hand and walked forward.

Tang Guoguo followed her with a piece of Wenchuang ice cream, asking as she ran:

"You also brought me a horse-faced skirt? Let's go to the bathroom and change into it now? Take a few more photos for me while no one is around, but what should I do if I don't have any props?"

"Don't worry! I brought a double-sided tapestry fan! And an oil-paper umbrella, you can take your pick!"

"Ah~~~You are so kind~~~"

The four girls came and left in such a hurry.

Chu Mingchen was left looking at a box of useless surveying and mapping tools, messy in the wind.

"What are you doing!!!"
